Well, the short trip to Paris was rather Amy’s idea than mine and I think she is cooling out a bit to this adventure. I guess girls do have some fantasies about Paris. I do not. To me the unlimited European experience is south Germany, Prague or Italy. Amy wants to challenge me with UK. I never was there and she feels that London is for her the best place in the world. Coming from the girl who had been traveled in more counties that I would be able to name I do think it says a lot.
We do have a pretty good grip about the musical events in London and Edinburgh from which we return back to US. We plane a long drive from London that shall be 5 hours but we might spread it across 2-3 days. I think the concerts that we will be attending will be mostly Bruckner for sure I would love to see not Esa-Pekka Salonen, Vasily Petrenko and Lorin Maazel lead Bruckner but Yannick Nézet-Séguin and Franz Welser-Most but it is what it is. Live concerts are always filled with unpredictable things and we will take our chances.
Generally, from my former trips to Europe I feel that August and September are not good time to catch interesting concerts in Europe with exception of Switzerlands’ Lucerne. The Proms play nigh be very variable and with the rest the Europians hardly do anything stimulating during this period. That is more or less artistic holiday and the second echelon of musicians who just entertain the pop-corn-chewing American tourists. For sure they might be exceptions…
At this time we less worry about London but rather who will be adding the chemicals to the pool and spa and whop would be feeding and brushing our Koshka while we are not with her.
